When comparing the ABI of the input ELF binary with that same ABI saved to abixml and read back again, there can be some minor and harmless changes that are seen, because libabigail makes some approximations for performance reasons. For instance, if there are two types that are equivalent, but have different names (because of typedefs) then libabigail will consider that they are the same type, and might save them (to abixml) and read them back (from abixml) in different order. That can lead to subtle changes that are reported (and filtered out) by the command "abidw --abixml". This patch arranges for abidw --abixml to avoid emitting a report saying that a filtered out change was detected, as those cases are considered OK. The patch also fixes a little issue where abidw would abort because the user forgot to provide the binary to analyze, on the command line. * tools/abidw.cc (set_diff_context): New function. (main): Use that new function. Do not show any output for --abidiff if only compatible changes were detected. Also, do not abort if no input binary was giving.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and Instrumentation Library. It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing ABI-relevant artifacts. The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or program. For a given library or program this set of quantities is called an ABI corpus. This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh, that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences, and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these differences. You are welcome to contribute to this project after reading the files CONTRIBUTING and COMMIT-LOG-GUIDELINES files in the source tree. Communicating with the maintainers of this project -- including sending patches to be include to the source code -- happens via email at libabigail@sourceware.org.
